UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes is planning the procurement for the "West Bampton Road Design and Build" project, located in Leigham, Plymouth. This procurement process aims to select a contractor for the design and construction of seven new affordable dwellings, along with associated landscaping and improvements to a public car park. The project's industry category falls under construction work, specifically the development of residential buildings. Key dates include the tender publication in September 2025, with the award expected in December 2025, and construction starting in Spring 2026. This single-stage open tender process is below the threshold for open competition and will be administered through the PCH Mercell portal. Interested parties should note the submission deadline of 29th August 2025, with an enquiry period ending on 8th August 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for construction companies, architects, and engineering firms specialising in residential projects. The procurement process, which is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), encourages participation from businesses capable of delivering sustainable and quality construction services. Companies proficient in urban development and energy-efficient design would find this tender particularly suitable, given the project's focus on affordable housing and environmental considerations like heat pumps and photovoltaic systems. Engaging in this project could lead to further collaborations with local councils and public undertakings in the South West, enhancing the reputation and experience of successful bidders.
